This resolution expresses strong support for designating September 22 through September 28, 2025, as "Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions Week." It highlights the critical role these institutions play in the higher education landscape, particularly for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students. The resolution notes that these institutions were authorized in 2007 and have since grown to include over 200 funded and eligible colleges and universities across the United States and its territories. Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) are vital because they enroll a substantial proportion of these student populations, many of whom are from low-income backgrounds and are first-generation college students. They are recognized for creating culturally relevant academic and co-curricular programs that enhance educational experiences and improve retention and graduation rates. The resolution ultimately calls for national recognition of their achievements, encourages eligible institutions to seek funding, and urges the public to observe the designated week with appropriate activities and programs.
